Abstract: Partial information in databases can arise when information from several databases is
combined. Even if each database is complete for some "world", the combined databases
will not be, and answers to queries against such combined databases can only be approximated.
In this paper we describe various situations in which a precise answer cannot
be obtained for a query asked against multiple databases. Based on an analysis of these
situations, we propose a classification of constructs that can be... (Update)
